Blackpool v QPR 14Mar23 6 - 1 FT 19th/42pts

How is this a penalty? The guy literally volleys the ball at Dickie from 1 yard away and it hits his arm.

The video is in slow motion and Dickie is already sliding to block before the strike, so how can it possibly be intentional? Where are his arms meant to be sliding like that. His arm is at worst protecting his face.

So true. Unless we helped them defend the set pieces they were a lost cause.

We are all agreed it seems the penalty was grossly unfair and Dieng's error led to another goal; but we also agree that the team leaving the field last Saturday should have been capable of rising to the deficit and turning it around. What happened was a meltdown at the back, with Drewe certainly targeted; a midfield that failed to support the defence adequately and failed to dominate the midfield; and our attack was woeful in that they failed to string passes together and failed to convert chances into goals. Quite how you can go in a few days from the euphoria of beating a PL-packed Watford to a performance that made BBC Sport headlines - for all the wrong reasons!
To put this into perspective: we moan about spending good money supporting a side that favours banana skins - how do you think the directors feel shelling out £millions on this!?

I was all set for a nice positive vibe but the script has changed somewhat in the last 24 hours (understatement)

I was talking with Animal Ainsworth after the Watford game and he said that you approved of Field playing in defence,

If that’s what Ainsworth football is then I’ll have that all day everyday.

Best game Iroegbunam has had for us. Drewe is an excellent little find. Field magnificent again. And Chris Martin, makes a HUGE difference and making him captain is a statement.

Huge win. Huge performance

This is true I did approve of his performance, but I don’t approve of him playing at the back. Am I wrong in saying he played in midfield in the first half on Saturday?? I did watch the game, but maybe my brain is playing tricks on me?

I also don’t approve of these fans demanding their money back either.
